EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘The Leverage’ (a poem)!

Leave a comment

Hello friends!

Welcome to the new term “2017”

You have gone a long way to make this destination

This is the new age

Help me tell rage to leave

This is the time to go in range with the past

People! It is cool we celebrate

For God appreciate this

So to elevate

For God initiated thanksgiving

To stay even amidst odds

Welcome on board

Listen carefully! Get rid of the ages

So you could play a vital role in breaking out of the cages

Stop the chases

And keep on with the praises.

Yesterday! Now gone

It is time to grow and flow

Let’s update our version

So we could stay compatible with the present.

This is my present

Words are never enough

Rather too much

But could keep us alive

In the battlefield.

Look! Never forget it’s still earth

World full of betray and ray

World full of plenty and empty

Let’s strive to be the best

Tomorrow could be the test…

moment that matters, words that glitters

Year that glitters, dears that matter…

EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘Other man’s dream?’ (A poem)!

Leave a comment

What do you want for you?

Casting off this burden

Chasing the cheapest dream

Yet expecting to meander amidst the richest valleys

All seems vanity

Like it’s a mere desire

So the state of many

What if then I ask that

What do you want for you?

Will the answer solve the wave within?

Or just a common man’s answer?

Severally, it feels like saying am done

When the odds refuses to say ‘I’m gone’

Like a corn, all just fade in solely state

All for a taste, a chase that brings little

Why then living another man’s dream?

Why pretending as if your action is justifiable

When all you are doing is barely for the crowd

As a crow, the cloud of greatness initiates less

What if then I ask

What do you want for you? 

Bones are fading

Days nearing to apocalypse

So the eclipse of doubt expands

Thought fails

War is yet raised

In division, so is the mission

What if I get a lamed answer?

What if you are tamed?

Why won’t you then find an answer to this question!

The alchemist (c) 2016

Author note:

What do you want for yourself?

Wish and dream?

Vision and action?

Will you get an answer to this, poets?

EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘His witness’ (a poem)!

Leave a comment

In truth, I speak him aloud
In words, I pick his existence
For he is the lamb, the lamp to your feet
For he is also the lion, your pavilion when all seems wrong.

In letters I adore him
Even beyond the latter years
Your tears now his care
Even when the world yells fear
Still he is fair enough
To bear your regret
And call you into his fold.
In sickness, when all hope seems faded
In every disappointment, when the future seems broken
Like a fracture to the brain
O yes! Yes He is with you
To heal your diseases
To reveal carefully that it’s not disappointment
But “this is my appointment”
All for seasons,
And beyond the seasons
Very much Christ
Is alive to give you rest…

He is here!
He is there!
He is with you dear!

EVERYDAYJESUS’ Extremist (a poem)

Leave a comment

Rhyming fanatical
Minding less people’s desire
This is my nature, black and spiritual
For every line so identical
And I’m so desperate to go tactical.
These are the words of an individual
Playing with words, I’m methodical
Let suggestion be raised higher
That am against the law of poetry, not metaphorical
O yes I know, I care to be optional
My mind recommends being optical
And for once be mystical.
This is my arrival
After days of sabbatical
Fighting fear that eats up my words like a cannibal
Until then yields revival to be a survival
Never to be diabolical
Nor be prodigal.
Enemies’ emphasis so radical
Walloping chant going lyrical
Seeking answers.
I prescribe poetic pharmaceuticals
O yes! I’m phenomenal
Not to be egotistical
But an observation, for I choose this lane, I’m being motivational
So exceptional!
The alchemist

Author note:
Inspired by Earl the Pearl work “extremist”

I feel it is right for every poet to be who they are. And to be free like the waters. There should not be restriction to what you can do. We are all different. We possess different style, view and gift, which makes the world a better…

You have to believe in what you can do, and do it right…. everyone is an extremist in their own way…

Be inspired
